| Life on the edge | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | Monochrome | General discussion | |
| Life on the edge Thanks for this whole thread, folks. The difficulty remains: how to deal with the edges? Stone, solid wood, and maybe something like Corian aside, the edges of almost any sheet, when cut to size/shape, present difficulties. And the joints at corners, floor, and ceiling (in the real world) are almost impossible to fit accurately. Masking the crevices with molding just draws attention to the defects. Ugh. Of course, a skilled designer or architect could figure out a presentable one-off solution, but what about a mass-produced modular product f ... | |||||

| ipod parking a car seeing the front or back (or not) has little to do with the car but with the driver... It is an object whereas you have to feel its width and lenght (as said many say that a car is an extension of mans body). usually i do not have many problems parking my car but once i drove a brittish car (with the steering wheel on the 'wrong' side) and then i had difficulties 'sensing' the cars width. But has no-one some kind of trouble 'sensing' the wheel of an ipod? | |||||

| p3 This academic tradition did not take note of the domain of design (in the sense of project) in any of its disciplines. However, in the process of industrialization one could no longer close ones eyes to technology and technical artifacts that more and more made their presence felt in everyday life. But the leading ideal continued to be cognitive character in the form of the creation of new knowledge. Never design achieved to establish itself as parallel leading ideal. This fact explains the difficulties of integrating design education in the institutions ... | |||||

| You're right, it's hard to... You're right, it's hard to find any facts on the lesser known bauhaus-people, but I can recommend google books as a source. They have scanned a lot of books and magazines. The NY Times has a searchable archive for all issues as well. Despite all difficulties I still love to to research, but more in actual libraries, scanning through old books and mags or microfilms, actually feeling and smelling the age! Generally it would be nice to have a book that traces the routes of former bauhaus students throughout the 20th century to see ... | |||||

| It is normal that polemical... It is normal that polemical subjects cause more reactions but that does not make them inevitably more interesting. The field of discussion proposed on Design addict is very, very broad and it is far from being exhausted. It is true that' there is a lot of discussion on furniture and interior design. These are interesting but I would like to take this opportunity to recall that DA is not restricted to this field. One can approach many other objects typologies: lighting, tableware (dinnerware, flatware, glassware...), electronics ... | |||||
| Good points! | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Good points! I have been amused by the tendency of architects to claim site-specificity for their work. Are they consciously or unconsciously fearful of losing work if one of their designs should be reproduced -- or of not being paid (again) if they should provide subsequent copies of a design? These guys need to "get with the program"! Of course, many have designed manufactured housing, only to find the myriad difficulties associated with actually getting such designs built and sold. But it is happening, more and more. | |||||
| Modern Toys | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | Synthetic Space | General discussion | |
| Modern Toys I've had the same difficulties in buying toys for my daughter, who is almost two years old. I'm really fond of the colorful wooden toys made by Plan Toys of Thailand. There are several on-line retailers that carry a good selection (one is monkeybeantoys.com). Check out the company itself at: www.plantoys.com I also think that the Bilibo is a neat concept, and it's good-lucking, too (and award-winning!). Check out their web site: www.bilibo.com Finally, there are a couple of web sites specializing in "the modern baby," and they carry small sele ... | |||||
| Point well taken | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | koen | General discussion | |
| Point well taken ...but I still do not understand how one combines the basic idea of "Less is more" with imagening a pillar that needs four times four profiles plus some hardware. The difficulties involved in machining it out of solid stock does not explain that choice. I could also point to the combination of half a dozen different kinds of natural stone and the care with which he made mirrored patterns with them. I think there is more to it than less | |||||

Goggling ,,kiss between men in Argentina,, you will find: ,,,,, One of the joys - and difficulties - of being a foreign correspondent is learning and adapting to local customs. Buenos Aires looks, on the surface at least, pretty much like a European city. You would think then that British journalists would not have too much difficulty blending in with the locals, but that is not always the case. Argentines are famous for their passionate embraces The kissing betwee ... | |||||

Later on the company became France & son as Julian France joined in his fathers footsteps. sadly the company was sold to CADO (poul Cadovious) in 1964 and was continued under the CADO name. Poul Cadovious was a character and loved the nightlife so that lead along with financial difficulties to the demise of CADO :o( So with no further blabbering from me here is a little advert from CADO. | |||||

| crankyd, Thanks so much... crankyd, Thanks so much for the info, the information you took the time to share was extremely helpful. It sounds like considering a knock off of the Nelson Bench is not a good idea because of the difficulties in creating a solid end product. I wasn't aware that Room & Board has clearance sales in June and December. They left a couple of items off of my recent order, so I do need to call them to re-order what was left off. I'll ask them about my best option in regards to ordering the Nelson Bench. I'd be willing to wait until De ... | |||||

| ... at the hands of Nazis (and not just my grandfather) with repercussions still being felt today I find your suggestion grossly insulting - not least because it trivialises the horror of Nazism. I appreciate that you have difficulties articulating your views so perhaps in future a little circumspection may be in order? Try taking a deep breath and holding it(15 minutes would be about perfect) before rushing to the keyboard next time. | |||||

| The value in the chairs as a whole is the design and the Finn Juhl / Vodder logo. Also the difficulty in locating a set of six in any condition. If I planned to keep the chairs I would replace the leather and clean the wood and use them happily in my home. If my plan was to sell the chairs, then I most certainly would not do anything, allowing the next owner to do what he/she choose. Cleaning and reupholstering will not lose one dime of value if done appropritely with the right material. Most buyers just want the chairs to use in their dinning area as they ... | |||||
